Deer-Off Concentrate from Gurney's Seed and Nursery
The purpose of the Deer-Off Concentrate from from Gurney's Seed and Nursery is to keep deer and other wildlife from eating plants.
Pros: There is nothing more heart-breaking or frustrating than to have put hours and hours of back-breaking work into your garden only to have deer and other creatures clean you out in one night. It's happened to me and it hurts a lot. There are many products on the market that claim to deter deer but nothing that I have ever tried is better than the Deer-Off Concentrate.
Deer-Off Concentrate is very easy to use. One pint of the Deer-Off Concentrate makes a whole gallon of liquid that when sprayed on the leaves of flowers, vegetable and fruits keeps deer and other critters from eating everything up. Deer-Off Concentrate does no harm to the plants and only one application lasts up to three full months - which is almost an entire summer! Other products must be repeatedly applied for them to remain effective in deterring deer.
Of course, the deer are beautiful and they need to eat but they can find something other than my plants, vegetables, and flowers that will be just as good. Deer-Off Concentrate sends them off to eat something else.
Cons: Deer-Off Concentrate is safe for most plants, but always test first.
Guarantee: The guarantee as stated on the Gurney's Website in part reads, "If you're not happy with one of our products, we'll replace it, give you a credit or refund your money for the full amount of your purchase price. All nursery stock, trees and plants are guaranteed for as long as you garden. All seeds and merchandise are guaranteed for one full year."
